Ilkhom transitioned from hands-on network engineering and infrastructure ops (2009–2017) into specialized QA automation, architecting Python frameworks and CI/CD pipelines for complex enterprise systems. His dual expertise in L2/L3 protocols, traffic generation, and test automation positions him as a rare bridge between infrastructure and quality engineering.
